Judgment & Decree
ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.--This is an appeal by leave against the order of the Federal Service Tribunal dated 22-10-1984.
2. Muhammad Akram, a Line Superintendent Grade II in the WAPDA, was removed from service on 12-1-1983 under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act. He questioned his removal through an appeal before the Federal Service Tribunal which was accepted through the impugned order. Hence the present appeal.
3. Leave in this case was granted to consider whether in view of the complete ouster of jurisdiction under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act the learned Tribunal could assume jurisdiction and interfere with the orders of the WAPDA in respect of persons employed or serving under it.
4. We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the respondent who is present in person. The question of jurisdiction of the Tribunal stands finally resolved by this Court in the case reported as WAPDA v. Muhammad Arshad Qureshi 1986 S C M R 18.
5. The appeal filed by the respondent was accepted by the Tribunal on the ground that no material was placed before it to justify action against the respondent under section 17(1-A) of the WAPDA Act. 1flere too the appellant did not produce any record to convince us that the proposed action against the respondent was justified. We, therefore, see no ground to interfere in the matter. The appeal is dismissed. S.Q/W-7/S Appeal dismissed.
